Join us on a full-day excursion from Zurich to visit the picturesque town of Lucerne and the charming alpine village of Engelberg. This tour offers you the opportunity to stroll through quaint streets, shop for classic Swiss souvenirs, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Swiss Alps. 

The journey begins with a spectacular route through pleasant scenery, taking you via the Albis Pass and along the shores of Lake Lucerne. Along the way, there will be a short photo stop for you to admire the view. Your guide will then provide a brief orientation drive past the main attractions of Lucerne, including the iconic Chapel Bridge, the Town Hall, the Jesuit Church, and the Culture and Convention Centre (KKL). You'll have free time to explore the pretty Old Town and soak up its charm. 

Continuing on, you'll reach Engelberg, a typical Swiss alpine village nestled in a sunny basin beneath the north face of Mt Titlis. Here, you'll have approximately three hours of leisure time to discover the village at your own pace, surrounded by majestic mountains. You can visit the imposing baroque church of the Engelberg Abbey, which houses Switzerland's largest organ, and enjoy a moment of silence. Take a walk through the monastery garden and browse the flower shop run by monks. Alternatively, you can head to the show dairy to learn more about the famous Swiss cheese and indulge in a personal tasting experience by ordering a cheese platter at the caf. Don't forget to pick up some local delicacies as souvenirs. 

For those seeking outdoor adventure, you can opt to hike one of the well-prepared trails in the beautiful surroundings. Alternatively, take the funicular up to Gerschnialp, where you'll be treated to stunning vistas of Engelberg. 

A short walk will lead you to a mountain restaurant where you can savor a delicious Swiss meal. Afterward, you can choose to whizz back down into the valley on a Trottibike scooter (summer) or a sledge (winter), adding an extra touch of fun to your experience. Before departing Engelberg, take a leisurely stroll through the quaint village.
